Alf did not witness the ceremony,
but taking his fiddle, he went into
the woods. Two months elapsed,
and the father and son had not seen
each other. One night, while the
young man, as usual, was sitting by
the fireplace, the father entered. He
sat down for time and said nothing.
Then. with sigh, he remarked:
"Alf thurs er fool in this her

Modern Miracles.

Neurypnology, or the science of
nerve sleep, is the latest medical dis.
covery in Paris, and a school of ply
sicians Is growing up that treats
diseases on this principle. The cable
brings interesting reports of the ex-
perinents of DR.. Charcot, scientist,
who looks like the first Napoleon and
lives in great luxury in one of the
most superb houses in Paris, as a
man should do who accomplishes the
miracles accredited to him. The ex-
periments of DR.. Charcot, we are told,
prove as perfectly practicable as the
transmission by magnetism from one
person to another of certain nervous
phenomena, such as dumbness. pa.
ralysis of the legs and arms, violent
pains and coxalgia, and the final
elimination of the evil from the orig
inal suffer. The cures have been nu.
merous and are elndisputable. Reports
OF this character are almost invariably
exaggerated, and 1t would not be
necessary for DIR. Charcot to accomp-
lish more than three or four import
ant cures in order to have his fame
spread widely. Still, the evidence is
well founded, ana physicians like DR..
Hammond and others in this country
believe that everything related is
quite possible. The matter is inter-
esting and important from the weight
it bears upon the question of the
future of medicine.
In the past it was deemed vitality
necessary that, in the treatment of
disease. there should be plenty of
drugging. Revolving concoctions
even as late as two centuries ago were
administered. Then came the sick
eDing masses compounded of herbs
and the like. Since medicine became
a real science, however, the tendency
has been more to dispense. as far as
possible. with indiscriminate dosing.
The first manifestation of this was
the homeopathic system. Now the
best doctors give very little medicine,
and there is disposition to dispense
with it altogether. The modern
tendency is clearly in the direction of
curing diseases, particularly those Of
nervous character, wholly without
drugging, and hence we have the
faith treatment and similar vagaries.
These may be false and absurd, but
they illustrate the growing conclusion
that nature can, almost in the major
ity of cases, he left safely to herself.
With good nursing and some obvious
and simple aids she will do what ia
necessary of her own free will. 1t is
found that the majority of people
who die at an advanced age were in
the habit of taking very little medi-
cine. The experiments of DIR. Char
cot, as described, are very interesting.
The possibilities of magnetism, etc.,
are yet to be seen. We are probably
just on the threshold. Half cen.
tury more may show wonders in
deed.
